Just watched it and it’s absolutely shocking the conditions those men had to put up with and respect to the women who helped change the way the industry operated and no doubt saved many lives.

It's on my "to watch" list.
How are you feeling today lovely?
Not great. I've cried more times then I care to admit and the moment I started studying I dozed off.
Any cause for the tears?
(panda)
I don't know, I've not been right all day really. I had a weightwise appointment this morning and my voice sounded dead. J has been brilliant and wouldn't leave until he knew I was ok.
How did the Weightwise appointment go?
(bear)
It was ok. I didn't get weighed today, we just talked about how I've been getting on and things I can do to help me sleep.
Have they given you any ideas to help with sleep

My reactions are completely out of proportion today! My sister has rung my mum today, she's got my niece into nursery 2 days a week when she goes back to work, despite my dad offering to look after her. Pretty much blamed it on my mum and the way she is and justified it on a load of what ifs, yet they're good enough to babysit if they want a night out. Oh and they're allowed to take her for days out the rest of the week too. So why aren't they good enough to look after her while she's at work? My mum is feeling quite hurt by that and my dad is upset too. Oh and she's not allowed at our house, she must be looked after there. Never mind the fact they never smoke when she's in the house, and it's obvious when they come down that she never really wants to be here. My sis never considers how her words affect people, she just opens her mouth and doesn't give a toss about anyone else.
It's made me so angry yet it's gone beyond that to wanting to claw at my arms and even the odd thought of I want all this to end. I want my mind to be quiet.
I'd be cross too - but tbh it could be financial? Do they get certain benefits which only get awarded if she is in funded ofsteded childcare?
Actually, I completely understand your sister. When you pay someone to look after your children, there’s a professional contract between you that makes it easier to tell them what you expect in your child’s care. When family do it, you can’t insist on things being done your way. You have an overwhelming sense of guilt that they’re helping you out. You can’t tell your parents not to take them out because the child had a bad night or to make sure the child doesn’t have an afternoon nap because you need your child to sleep on a long car journey you’re taking her on when you finish work. And, you can’t stop your parents from spoiling your child.
I’ve had family giving childcare and I’ve had professional childcare. I adore my parents and theyre wonderful grandparents but my life was a 1000 x easier with a childminder. Ultimately this decision is about what’s best for your niece and her parents.
That's fair enough Paula, but blaming it solely on my mums health? Yet they're good enough to babysit if they want a night out? Making it obvious that you don't want to be in your parents house? That you don't want your child in your parents house? Manners and being mindful of others feelings doesn't take much. But then no one else actually matters with her.
Nearly there with my first assignment and all caught up with the work. Less than 200 words to go and references and I can submit it. I actually feel a lot calmer about it then the first time round at uni.
Yay! Glad you’re all caught up.
Well done you! Told you so (giggle)
Well done gorgeous! :)
I haven't finished my assignment yet. Don't congratulate me just yet
It's an achievement to have even started!!
I'll no doubt find some way to mess it up. I always do.
OI! We’ll have none of that.
Totally agree with Stella!
Well that's how I feel today
You OK lovely?
I woke up this morning so not really.
Do you know what's caused those feelings?
Just woke up wishing I hadn't and spent most of the day wishing I wasn't here. Of course I'm too much of a coward to do anything about it.
That’s bull and you know it. Not taking the easy way out is hardly cowardly.
I don't think it's cowardly to or not to take that way out - but I hope you never do because no matter how you feel about yourself you are loved and wanted...
I'm just so tired of fighting. I always try to be the best person I can be and all I seem to do is suffer, I can't even do being a woman properly. Yet people go through life treating others like (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear) and get everything they want. How is that fair?
I hear ya mate. It sometimes seems like the way to get ahead in this world is to be a complete (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear)(swear)(swear)
I don't know. It was just in my head last night
In what way can't you be a woman properly?? I ask because I've felt that so many times.......
How are you today gorgeous?
I haven't had a period since mid-September so couldn't even do pregnancy, I have thinning hair and hair that grows where it shouldn't. Not exactly the most feminine of looks I have!
I'm better then yesterday but still pretty low and very, very irritable, snappy and on edge. Still wish I hadn't woken up but not thinking of ways I can achieve that at least. J is popping to see me soon. He tried to get someone to cover his shift so he could come with me this afternoon but there was no one available. I'm just touched he even tried.
Do you have anyone to go with you?
Sweetheart I really wish I could take those horrible feelings away from you.. Thing is, you're much more woman than so many I meet....
And there we have it. I'm not ill enough to see a psychiatrist, the meds aren't working because of my personality and my self harm isn't proper self harm.
Your personality?
